Religion
Matthew 26:43: He came and found them asleep
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Whole nights we to ambition give,
To avarice or diversions vain,
Yet grudge an hour for sin to grieve.
And prayer account a needless pain:
An hour for God we cannot spare,
(Who bids the sleeping soul arise,)
Or for our own salvation care.
Or watch to' ensure our paradise.
